Hezbollah thanks Iran for deal inclusion, tells residents not to return to border towns
Hezbollah thanked its backer Iran on Monday for insisting that Lebanon, where Israel and the militants have been at war, be included in the deal to end the Middle East conflict.
"Hezbollah expresses its profound gratitude" to Iran's leaders, forces and people "for their steadfast support of Lebanon, its people and its resistance, and for their insistence that Lebanon be included in any understanding leading to the cessation of war", the group said in a statement.
Hezbollah warned that the group will not accept a return to the pre-March 2 situation or "any aggression that violates its country's sovereignty or spills the blood of its people", vowing it would "remain committed to Lebanon's legitimate and unwavering right to defend its land, people and sovereignty until a full (Israeli) withdrawal is achieved and the prisoners are returned".
The statement urged displaced residents to delay their return to southern border villages.
Hezbollah also called on Lebanese authorities to "review all the calculations and tracks" they have pursued, to "shun illusions and failed bets" and to rely on Lebanese unity and Lebanon's "real friends."

hezbollah also expressed its profound gratitude to iran's leaders and the irgc, for giving thousands upon thousands of lebanese the pleasure privilege and opportunityy to become martyrs, willingly but mostly unwillingly, by starting the two wars of support from south lebanon. these martyrs are now up in paradise enjoying the 72 virgins; that's 72 virgins in total for all these martyrs. the queues to get in are longer than the queues in front of an apple store on the night before a new iphone launch. hezbollah also warned the displaced residents to delay their return to southern border villages because the villages don't exist any more and the land is now occupied by the israelis after lebanon's "real friends" iran and the irgc started the two wars of support from south lebanon without lebanon's consent.
